"La Limite" Oak Aged Pinot Noir 2015

This wine comes from the named-place “Froen” situated between Bergheim Village and the lower “Limit” of the Grand Cru Altenberg de Bergheim.
The southern exposure and the clay-limestone soil are the same as this latter.
A very severe sorting has permit to select the most matured and perfectly healthiest grapes.
After a long maceration of 18 days, the Pinot noir was vinified in Burgundian wooden barrels during 24 months, so as to soften tannins without highlighting in a too much pronounced way the wooded aromas of the barrel.

Expressive nose with aromas of vanilla, spices, toasted coffee, black cherries and bay leaves.
Dense and well-structured taste, there is a lovely acidity which brings a freshness and pep. Ample and complex wine with ripe and pronounced tannins. The finish is beautiful and expressive with a nice touch of sweet spices.
